Ask Geoffrey: How the ‘L’ Do You Spell That?

February 26, 2016

As a lifelong Chicagoan, I have this insatiable appetite for interesting facts about Chicago history. Did you know that one of the predecessors of the Blue Line used to go as far west as Westchester? Here’s a little tidbit from one of my favorite Chicago history nerds, Geoffrey Baer:

Geoffrey Baer tackles three questions about Chicago’s beloved rapid transit system, including the various spellings of the system, old downtown entrances between elevated stations and Loop stores and a mysterious tunnel a viewer spotted while riding the Blue Line.

LoftusLaw made the sale of my rental property secure and simple. Patrick took the time to walk me through every document with detailed explanation and really made me feel like we had a large firm in our corner. I will definately be returning to LoftusLaw when I buy our next property. Thank you again for all your help!

Patrick did a very good job on my recent condo purchase. Everything was clearly explained and he was very patient with me. First time home buying experience was not good overall, but that had nothing to do with the services Patrick offered. In fact, i'm willing to say it would have been much worse if we did not have Patrick. I have no negative comments. Attention to detail potentially saved me thousands.

Patrick was outstanding. He explained all the legal language of property law and contracts involved in my wife and I selling our condo. He was professional, friendly, and always available for any questions and concerns we had during the process. I highly recommend Patrick.

Selling our condo in Chicago was a less stressful experience because of Patrick's meticulous handing of the negotiation. He guided us from start of the negotiations to the closing date. We knew we could trust him to have our best interests at heart.
